Digmenow 70 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 This thread may turn out to be like a "Which Motor Oil Is Best?" thread on a Car forum but I will forge ahead, regardless. TIL that I need little clips to secure my towel to my poolside (relatively speaking) lounge chair. I had never heard of a Boca Clip before but I now MUST have some. With 10 days left until embarkation, I'm on a mission to secure (pun intended) some. Here are my requirements: Cheap because thieves Sturdy enough to last at least throughout the cruise but hopefully longer. Plastic or Stainless? Different enough to easily identify from others nearby (is this even an issue?) Fast shipping since it's a bit early to see them on local store shelves. I'd imagine that several of you have tried a number of these things and have developed an unnatural attachment to them. Links to whatever style or brand you may prefer would be appreciated. Time is of the essence here so, CHOP CHOP! Please? Suzanne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They may have them at a Bed, Bath & Beyond if there is one near you. Amazon.com has them in various shapes, sizes and colors also. Suzanne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pipedream 4 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I ordered 3 sets from Amazon - flip flops, margaritas and a parrott - cute and unique :-) They arrived quickly. I don't remember if they were the Boca brand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lovetocruise2002 10,337 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 We use clothespins from the dollar store. Cheap and we won't be heartbroken if they get stolen. UkuleleCruiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melski94 808 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Those are cute. I just ordered cheap plain colored plastic ones from amazon. You could get 12 for less than 2 of those 2 boca clips. If they break, no big deal. Plus I don't have to deal with my kids fighting over which clips are on their chair.

WAAAYTOOO 11,006 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 How cute are those ?? I also MUST have some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
function12 28 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 We got ours from Bed bath, and beyond too. We had to ask for them and they brought a box full out from the back. They did come in handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KathyC 974 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I bought some from CruiseHabit.com; not Boca but colorful. monorailmedic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gears 318 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 We use table cloth clips for a picnic table. Reallll cheap, take up little space and work really well. Can usually find them in the outdoors section of your favorite department/hardware or outdoor store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deedeelynn 27 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Bed, Bath and Beyond is where we got our clips. They had a huge selection! If you have a Big Lots near you, I have seen them there. Good Luck, they are the best thing to have at the pool!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gears 318 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 This is our setup. Six table cloth clips and two towels per chair. The clips keep the towels on in a good wind as well. Digmenow and Rose City Cruiser 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
